azaima wrote: I'm enjoying about a teaspoon of Green Hulu Kapuas. I'd like to take it daily, but am wondering whether it is wise to do that. I understand that rotating strains is the best way to keep your tolerance from building up. But I want to know whether it is advisable to take it daily. Depending on what I read, it's fine, or it's addictive, or it's dangerous. I decided cannabis was good for me and that my body wanted it, because my body has cannabinoid receptors built into it. I'm wondering whether that's true for kratom as well, as the body has opiod receptors in it. Is kratom good for us? Does the body want it? Do we need to worry about daily use? Thanks in advance.

Responsible use of Kratom requires knowledge and understanding....here goes.

Receptors

As it is processed in the body some of the alkaloids in Kratom land on the opioid receptors in the same place that heroin, morphine, or oxycodone would land (BTW all opiates end up as the same chemical as your body processes it). Kratom however, is NOT an opiate and does not metabolize into the same chemicals as opiates...it just has an affinity for the opiate receptors, that is all.

Just because your body has opiate receptors does NOT mean that Kratom (or opiates) are good for you. It means that your body produces some kind of chemical that is similiar to opiates and THAT is why the receptors exist. These substances are called endorphins and the BEST and healthiest solution is if each of us could make enough of our own endorphins to keep us feeling well and healthy. Science has not got that totally figured out yet - EXCEPT that we know that exercise increases endorphins.

Because your body has opiate receptors it has a metabolic pathway to process the alkaloids in Kratom, so it is not treated as a foreign substance, making it much safer than most medications prescribed today.

The problem with taking chemicals instead of producing our own is twofold:

the more you take the more you need (tolerance). Your body simply keeps on making more opiate receptors that want to be satisfied.

your body is not stimulated to produce its own endorphins.

This is true for Kratom use as well.

So now you know. We all make a decision about this as we decide whether or not Kratom use has improved our lives or not.

If you take Kratom on a regular basis you will develop tolerance. BUT you can mange your use responsibly by accurate measuring and keeping the dose at a level that provides the effects you need.

There is no scientific evidence that rotating strains helps to minimize tolerance, however some people think it works for them to keep things fresh. I rotate strains organically ie I just pick whatever strain I think will meet my needs at that particular moment. I seldom take the same strain all day (I take several doses in a day).

When you start putting the use of Kratom above all other things in your life and your energies go to procuring it and using it despite the fact that it has negative consequences in your life, then THAT is addiction. Kratom has a very low addictive potential, I would say it is about the same as coffee.

As far as chemical dependency goes it is possible to become chemically dependent on Kratom. However, the same can be said for coffee, alcohol, nicotine, and even sugar. All of those substances have more severe withdrawal symptoms than Kratom. Again - responsible use. I have never experienced any withdrawal from Kratom even if I go for an entire day without it. I have more pain of course, but no withdrawal.

Once again it is all about responsible, knowledgeable use.

So each of us decides for ourselves how much and how often we use in order to improve our lives.]]>Introduce YourselfMon, 18 Feb 2019 19:20:45 +0000hi it is catspaw, i am a little confused by the different strains, laurie help! - by: Nan70https://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/7419-hi-it-is-catspaw-i-am-a-little-confused-by-the-different-strains-laurie-help#34817

I loved reading your eloquently written introduction!

You’re in the right place for sharing your passion for keeping the leaf legal and accessible. I came here as a chronic pain patient turned opiate addict.

Now I’m a 2 yrs clean kratom advocate and I also try to help other people in my community who are struggling with pain to try the leaf. I plan to be available and ready when the sobriety Fellowships allow a more open minded approach versus “just get through the pain”. I’m more on the side of, “live your best life today!” because I find waiting until tomorrow quite aging. LOL

I enjoy ordering many different strains/Colors of Kratom and using several different vendors.

Nan70’s list of preferred vendors is very similar to mine.
I like to rotate and mix my strains/Colors daily this helps me keep my good Kratom vibes fresh and gives my body a chance to experience different Alkaloids as all leaves are different.

Keeping my Kratom options open and evolving helps me enjoy the benefits of this wonderful leaf..

I do know that extract is not multifaceted like leaf powder and it’s really lacking if not mixed with lots of leaf = enhanced kratom powder. <—-that’s the one to try for a pleasurable/helpful experience.

Extract by itself is very effective for acute pain relief. So it has its purpose. No mood lift, no “euphoria”. Straight acute pain treatment and only for short term acute pain.

Utilizing it more often than plain leaf eventually makes you REQUIRE it and the strength of the relief fades with repeated use. Then it’s barely effective and THEN WHAT? More more more is not the right answer.

Extract is super unique as to how it was made and who made it with what powder and water/alcohol/etc. No two vendors have the same type. Ever.

Where to get coupons...that’s also unique to vendor right now (in between holiday specials), although Groundhog Day would be a good reason for a discount code eblast to customers. Super bowl Sunday would be a good reason to post a special discount code...

I haven’t gotten a simple list from the APPROVED VENDORS to display on the Bulletin Board. It’s a goal of mine...

For now, look around at websites you find on the list (or elsewhere) and email the vendor(s) of interest to you, or use their CONTACT US page to inquire about a discount code for ILK members (and lurkers). Often times they will make one if they don’t have one active.

Some of the high volume extract shops have discount codes posted EVERYWHERE and basically they have a set price since the codes never expire. Some post on Twitter. Nothing changes with those ads.

I have been happier with “enhanced fusion” such as what Online Kratom has. Its not inexpensive l, but they are masters of the art of blending.

I haven’t tried Jim at Top Extracts’extract, but his reputation is way above par., and his powder is also. I just haven’t tried anything in his current supply, but EXTRACTS is what he does!
I welcome anyone who can vouch as to Jim’s extracts to comment please.

I mix my own “enhanced fusions” now, also. I’m as untechnical as it gets. I use MUCH LESS in my bag of leaf than what vendors use. It’s a very light sprinkling of less than 1/16th of a TEAspoon per bag of approx anywhere from 25-100 grams. I also sprinkle black pepper extract and turmeric in the bag of leaf powder. LABEL IT PRECISELY and use AS NEEDED for occasional pain issues.

My resources for extract have varied. EZ KRATOM had the nicest quality of straight forward extract and his discount code is at the top of the VENDOR PAGE in an ad banner. USE ILK FOR 10% OFF...

PDO comes to mind. I would suggest you check what his current stock is because he gets rare product and it sells fast. You’d be smart to be on his newsletter list for CURRENT BATCH updates.

I hope some more folks will see my pathetic post and clear up the mess I made of an answer.

I have a very painful condition “Crohn’s Disease” and I do my best to use Kratom for my pain control needs.
But, sometimes Kratom is not enough to overcome the pain in my gut. In the last year I have had to go to the E.R. and receive pain meds and also spent 4 days in hospital no food or water until the blockage in my small intestine open enough to eat again.

The reason I say all this is just learn for yourself what Kratom can do for you personally and know the limits of this wonderfull leaf.
It is wise to gradually taper certain medications and in some emergency situations you may need pharmaceutical pain meds.

There is absolutely no reason why it should not work as long as you have enough.

Depending on your opioid tolerance now, your Kratom dose might need to be quite high. That is only something you can find out as you carry on with the experiment.

I am also a newbie here and can share my experience. I was on Tramadol for 3 years and got addicted. I took up to 20 a day at the highest point. I then went to suboxone to stop the tram. I've been on Sub for 2 years and although I feel WAY better on sub than the pain killers, it really was no better. I decided 2 weeks ago to stop the sub and make a quick jump to Kratom. Most will tell you to taper. That's the smart thing to do. I jumped. I literally took my last 16mg on say a Tuesday and then on wednesday morning I started taking Kratom 3x a day. I did restart last week but I am now 7 days out and I have experienced VERY MILD, almost nonexistent withdrawals. No RLS, No fever feeling, No dizziness, one episode of stomach run off but the Kratom fixed that within the next dose. Today I was supposed to go in to refill my Subutex(Suboxone) but I called and cancelled. I don't need it, even 7 days out.

I also have spinal issues. Herniated disks, degeneration, nerve pain etc. I hurt moderately right now but not terrible. Im at work and have been every day. No way I could of done that by going cold turkey off Sub or the tramadol. My mood is good. No depression where as I was also VERY down after quitting opiates. Just the lowest of the low. None of that with Kratom. It's completely controlling my withdrawl symptoms and doing a fantastic job.

I take 3g White or green in the morning, 3-4g at lunch of white or green and 5-6g red at about 4-5pm. I've been sleeping fine and not needing to dose at night at all yet.

If you have any other questions I am a noob to Kratom but I can share what I'm going through and that is similar to what you are about to do. I hope this helps!

Don't be scared. Kratom is more powerful than I realized. It really can stop those nasty Withdrawals!]]>Introduce YourselfTue, 22 Jan 2019 17:45:19 +0000New to Kratom - by: bomalleyhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/7134-new-to-kratom?start=10#34046

FAKE NEWS strikes again!

Totally funny!

Your story is much like mine, Philly. After all, I’m a recovering addict, for crissakes.

The leaf is not destructive to my life in any way.

If it were, I’d be kicking kratom to the curb.

I’m so glad your wife has noticed you are not wrecking your life in the least.

I continue to return here for the sake of education as people arrive! It’s not a QUICK FIX AT ALL, and those who need help getting started need a SAFE place to get an education on safety with regard to use and choosing a resource. And just STICKING WITH IT when they “don’t feel anything”, which is quite different from NUMBING ONESELF.

The DEA and FDA are disappointing the same people they supplied with opiates. I’m quite sure they will be launching a NEW drug to abuse and wreak havoc in no time. Any minute now. They already HAD one to launch during our Thanksgiving attack, but it was TOO UNSAFE and had to be pulled at the last minute. It had a name and everything!

I’m so grateful to the leaf for helping me manage psychological AND physical disabilities that would otherwise limit my life to bedside activities only.

You have found a very educated and caring forum here. As long as you're taken the benzos as prescribed and not abusing them it's fine. But i would still do research on what you can take in place of benzos. There is stuff out there i just dont know anything off hand. And remember if you decide to change from benzos to something else make sure you discuss it with your doctor first. Never just stop taking them. The withdrawals from benzos are worst then opiates and can kill you. I also suffer from the 4 reasons you take benzos so I understand how difficult it is for you and how it impacts daily life.

Like member's mentioned use the search feature or just read through the different forums. Learn as much as possible about kratom. The approved vendors listed here are great. That is the 1st thing with kratom is you want to make sure you're getting actual pure kratom not something from a head-shop, gas station, or a stranger. On this forum if there is an issue going on with an approved vendor members will post about it.

Any questions just ask on here. The members are great and very supportive. Plus they actually care about you and want to make sure that you use kratom properly.
Guess that is one of the positive effects of kratom..,you're actually happy from a simple natural product.
only been using kratom for a short time but it is a life changing experience for the better.]]>Introduce YourselfSun, 23 Dec 2018 23:47:54 +0000Hello everyone - by: jayiskhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6996-hello-everyone#33422

madbladder wrote: Last night I made it through an entire shift at work without pain, and it was the first night I took kratom capsules. I may have found my miracle for painful bladder syndrome!!

So glad you are finding success with pain management using Kratom.

Have you tried any natural therapies for your bladder syndrome?

Some people have had good success with D-manose. Have you heard of that? In my family we have had great success resolving recurrent bladder infections using D manose and there is a large body of evidence that IC results from left-over bacteria in the bladder after an infection. Even though the urine test show no bacteria they can still reside in the lining of the bladder ( called biofilm).

While Kratom will work for pain management it does not address the root cause of the problem.

Anyway D-Manose is good for overall bladder health and might be worth trying.

We like to help in any way we can here.]]>Introduce YourselfSat, 15 Dec 2018 01:48:09 +0000NuEarthBotanical 15% off Your Entire Order - by: NuEarthBotanicalhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/7034-nuearthbotanical-15-off-your-entire-order#33411

Good form for switching over to this beautiful and kind leaf.
It’s good for what ails ya!! I’ve done the opiate path( years ago) it has its place , but for everyday maintenance this leaf wins the prize and is safer/more effective (imo) than prolly all the over the counter drugs available... and more effective at helping combat pain, and it’s buddies anxiety and depression.. for me anyways , than most prescription drugs...we’re all different bodies , but so lovely for my needs , hope you find great benefit from it as well

I can relate to the wish to change. I have usernames on many sites referring to a cat I had for 17 years. But he’s now long gone and I’m no longer mourning that loss. Small potatoes compared to your life changes! I keep coming back to this forum ESPECIALLY for helping others develop changes like yours.

Please hang in there. The issue is on the “punch list” for the website management, but it continues to get bumped to accommodate huge increases in site visitors due to high volume (we keep needing to get a bigger server and transfer the site flawlessly and without any detectable signs of this behind-the-scenes work being done - mostly on weekends).

The holidays are also a time to take some weekend time off.

You’re stuck FOR NOW, but nobody here is judging usernames, I assure you. Sorry it triggers a reminder of that difficult time, BUT maybe try to APPRECIATE the gravity of change you’ve made with pride when you see that username? I also am recovering from active addiction and reminders are uncomfortable but healthy to appreciate how far I’ve come also!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing with this special family.

I will announce it when profile editing is functional again. Thank you for your patience EVERYONE!]]>Introduce YourselfThu, 13 Dec 2018 17:07:39 +0000Red devil kratom grand re-opening !

I dont know what Algorithms YouTube uses but the videos that showed up were horrible.

it was like the fda/dea picked them out. it was a complete bunch of idiots that looked like active drug users. Their reviews and info on Kratom sucked. They just rambled on and obv. they were just all reviewing whatever company gave them so free stuff.

You tube shutdown videos on peptides and SERMS not to long ago. Not because it was a health issue but because there products that can cut into big pharma's profits. There are a couple of really good peptides that can be used to heal injuries. And peptides are just chains of amino acids so big pharma cant patent them. Sounds a little like what their issue is with kratom.

It’s worth the effort to view them all.]]>Introduce YourselfThu, 06 Dec 2018 04:11:20 +0000Methdone withdrawal - by: Wolverinehttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6251-methdone-withdrawal#33129

In the Peruvian Amazon, chuchuhuasi is still considered the best remedy for arthritis among both city and forest dwellers. It is also used as a muscle relaxant, aphrodisiac, and pain-reliever, for adrenal support, as an immune stimulant, and for menstrual balance and regulation. In Peruvian herbal medicine systems, chuchuhuasi alchohol extracts are used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bronchitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, and menstrual irregularities and pain.

Welcome! I am also new but find comfort from the encouragement and support of these people and knowing others have walked this path before me.
I totally agree that childbirth is a breeze compared to withdrawals (and we all know having a baby is rarely easy or pain free!) And sadly the longer the history of use the longer it can take your body to find its balance again. But I also don't want you to worry about how long paws can last, although it is helpful to know that residual effects will most likely stick around a spell. The worst really is those first few months and with kratom it can be bearable. I withdrew from methadone following many years of morphine and other narcotics and wish I had found kratom early on for myself. I almost died and had no assistance from our pathetic healthcare practitioner's. in their defense (I was an RN and from a traditional medical family) we are not educated appropriately for chronic issues. But that is another post for sure
I guess if there is one thing I wish I had understood in the beginning was that learning how our body's chemistry reacts with kratom is varied and does change. There is a steep learning curve to figuring out what works but how grateful I am to have that opportunity!! For most of the first 8 months I used mostly reds with a few greens mixed in. Maengda strain never worked for me but Bali and Sumatra's and Borneo's did. I also needed to mix and rarely take only one strain at a time. It gets kinda confusing with the info about avoiding tolerance issues and still struggle but on those really bad pain days I still return to bali, Sumatra and Borneo and indo's. A new favorite is red Agatha and even red Papua work well. I prefer the product from COB or in sense/gold leaf botanicals, although I use one other vendor who is not on our list here so I won't mention them.
Hope that isn't too much info, guess I simply wanted you to know you aren't alone on this journey...if you have any specific questions I'm happy to help but again I am still a newbie myself and I like knowing there are many willing to help who have been using kratom much longer!
So glad you found help and this forum. And sorry you had to learn on the fly how to survive withdrawals from prescribed meds....it isn't close to OK but I promise in the long run you may be grateful and actually healthier for finding a more natural way of managing your pain.
There are some great supplements that do help with some of the imbalances you will have during the first year but not sure if you want anymore info. just be proud that your surviving this and believe that you WILL make it through!!
Are you able to sleep yet? I think the initial insomnia was worse then the dehydration for me those early weeks....I also know it can be so challenging but the more quality your diet the easier your body can work to right itself. Your body can and wants to detox the meds out and the more tools (like our fuel/food) the easier it is. I was a full on food addict so learning to see food as fuel instead of my comfort actually helped tremendously. And drink clean water til you feel like your floating ( OK not really but most of us operate at a dehydrated level and you know intimately now how dangerous dehydration can be!) I used to dream of banana bags (iv fluids) those first months lol
Good luck!!! And don't try to do this all alone....

Nan, i dont know many, or any that can quite understand what it’s like to have your control panel( spine) full of roughage , it affects every aspect of my life . I’ve done the acupuncture, message, cranial sacral ... trying to be consistent with stretching and handling stress better , stress exasperates my symptoms. I like saunas , good for the bones, maybe not for so much the brain lol, probably good for the brain too, kratom makes other modes of feeling well possible

I’m young and can’t afford to slow down, 4 kids and I just need to do what I have to to keep the ship sailing, kratom is my sail,

Kratom also helps control my pain, and without this help I would not be doing good , I’ve never been politically active (even for marijuana which I used everyday for 20+ years, haven’t partaked in 6 months, longest I’ve ever stopped) but I’ve signed petitions, called senators and wrote my personal testimony to pharmacy board in Ohio to keep this leaf accessible and legal

Thx for hearing my story , my take and experience , there’s more ... but good for now

As far as dose, I put about 2 or 3 giant heaping tablespoons ( around 10 tablespoons) in one soup mug and then add boiling water. I stir it up and let the leaves settle to the bottom. I then drink the leafless liguid off the top. Don't know if this is the best way to consume kratom but I have a hard time gagging down kratom leaves, so I just drink the leafless tea off the top.

You are using way too much and getting way too little effect from it.

A tablespoons is over 6 grams. Do you have leaves or plain fine powder?

I take my dose of 6 grams (or less) and put it on top of a glass of water and let it sit. In about 5 minutes it is drinkable and I swill it all down and then wash it down with more water. I think you are wasting a lot of good Kratom with your method and it is no wonder that you are not getting any effect. Most of it is being discarded!

If you have only coarse leaf, then you could use a spice grinder to make it into a powder.

If you cannot tolerate taking it at all then making capsules may be your next best method.
BUT you should be able to get more pain relief by using less if you consume the entire amount.

We suggest 2 grams as a starting dose and work up from there.]]>Introduce YourselfTue, 06 Nov 2018 07:00:10 +0000New And Confused - by: bomalleyhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6807-new-and-confused#32449

We have had such high demand for our products, we are temporarily lowering the purchase sizes of various different strains.
Our next order is in the USA, but not here yet and we want to try and keep everyone supplied with enough to get by, until our order gets here, which hopefully will be in a week to ten days.
Not all items are limited but many are.

We want to thank everyone here at ILK for continuing to be our Great Customers.
And for new people, we do give away free samples one time, so you can try our quality and see what we provide.

We are only out of 2 strains, as we said we are just limiting the size for each purchase, to be able to continue to provide for all.
We here at in Sense Botanicals thank everyone here at ILK for providing a place for everyone!

These options will all become more obvious to you as you learn how each strain affects you individually.
I find the red Bentuangie to be quite sedating as well, so that might be another option.]]>Introduce YourselfThu, 01 Nov 2018 05:59:23 +0000Clark Groom - by: bomalleyhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6561-clark-groom#32298

Of course I would have thought so as you've seemed so nice so far and so has everyone on this forum.

I just have a lot of trouble detecting people's tone or anything sarcastic even in real life when I can hear people's voices and it's much harder online so sometimes if someone types something in a certain way I hear it said in a different way and without knowing the person well enough it's hard for me to figure out what they mean.

I can't tell you how often it's been a problem for me, but that's totally fine, and thank you.]]>Introduce YourselfSun, 14 Oct 2018 20:42:27 +0000new to Kratom - by: Chickiehttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6205-new-to-kratom#31785

I was wondering if you tapered off gaba and paxil, or if you stopped abruptly?

But on reddit i got banned for trying to help, so here was your answer.

Well....Reddit.
If you coincidentally say It was divine serenity I felt after we burned insense, You get banned for vendor sourcing.

Revoking their license seems like an incredibly complicated long shot, with the chance equal to getting the spam scam spoofed phone calls to stop because I filed a FCC complaint.
I get where your are coming a little bit. I reported a dentist once to the ADA unless I was willing to take him to small claims court nothing was going to happen.

We announce this when people sign up for Forum membership, but many vendors don't read the rules.

In my skimming of the list of ingredients, I found nothing exciting and nothing I would pay for. I believe it would be a great mistake to take our focus off the fight to keep KRATOM legal. We can win this fight if we remain committed to nothing less than maintaining our rights to use these natural herbs. Besides, if we allowed kratom to be criminalized, any "alternatives or analogs of kratom" will also be outlawed quickly.]]>Introduce YourselfWed, 10 Oct 2018 02:48:02 +0000Kratom for chronic pain? - by: bomalleyhttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6035-kratom-for-chronic-pain?start=40#31575

I'm sorry you suffer from such severe chronic pain but I'm glad you found kratom to treat it. Thank you for responding Plathian.

If you can get yourself a steady supply of Kratom by renting a post office box in another state you will find that you CAN get control of chronic pain. Many here on this forum have done exacty that.

please do not lose hope.
BUT...

Kratom ALONE does not cure anything.

Laurie is SO right!! I beat this drum so often and I am so glad to see someone else giving the same message.

Kratom is a tool to support your body so you can have the energy and motivation to pursue therapies that are more curative. These strategies usually lie within the basics of nutritional therapies, exercise, manual therapies, and a balance of rest and activity and stress management.

I would not want to live my ilfe without Kratom, but at the same time I recognize that it is NOT curative for my issues with chronic pain.]]>Introduce YourselfTue, 09 Oct 2018 17:59:53 +0000Introduction and situation - by: Lauriehttps://www.ilovekratom.com/kratom-forum/introduce-yourself/6203-introduction-and-situation#31547
